Syncronizing your Mac Address Book with Communigate

Kurt Vanderwater — Sat, 16 May 2009 15:25:10 -0500

So, I got to wondering if I could 'sync' my address book out of my Communigate system with my MacBook Pro. A little digging and I found that the Address Book application has an import feature. It is able to handle csv, ldif, and vcard.

Very First Drupal Meetup in Oklahoma

Ju young Vanderwater — Tue, 12 May 2009 13:44:00 -0500

Oklahoma's very first Drupal Meeetup is happening tonight! We have a relatively small Drupal community here, but we are getting together tonight to meet each other, and discuss how we can further the Drupal community in Oklahoma. We are guessing between 5-10 people will attend at Panera Bread for an informal gathering.

An Exercise in pushing the Envelope - Playing with DRUSH

Kurt Vanderwater — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 18:06:32 -0500

So, I have been inspired from a recent video to go play with AEgir. I thought I would try it on my laptop, so off to install DAMP.

I must say, I was very impressed with the DAMP install. Simple, straightforward, quick. Oh yea, and it 'Just Works'! Very impressive. I played with the Drupal install for a few minutes and it all seems in order.

Blogo Rocks

Kurt Vanderwater — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 16:20:44 -0500

I got a call from a client yesterday that requested some help with Blogo on their Drupal site. I had never heard of Blogo, so, I went out and found the product here.

Contextual Administration

Kris Vanderwater — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 11:13:23 -0500

So I've been thinking a lot lately about Drupal's current administrative work flow. This biggest problem with Drupal isn't that it's administration sucks, it's that it's administration isn't very cohesive. Mark Boulton and Leisa Reichelt have been working on this very problem for Drupal 7, however they've asked the community to submit information about how we've altered our own administrative interfaces. Now when the request went out initially I really hadn't done any "pimping" of my own admin, but since that time I've been contemplating it a lot.

CSS Only Themes for Drupal 7

Kris Vanderwater — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 18:48:40 -0600

I didn't get to contribute much to Drupal 6 before it happened. I was still learning how to use the toolset the Drupal community uses for these things, and after one successful attempt to contribute to core, I decided to focus my attention on contrib for a while. It's been more than a year since that time (probably closer to two) and I'm much more comfortable and familiar with these tools, as well as having a much better idea of what it is that Drupal is "all about".

Happy Holidays from The Worx!

Ju young Vanderwater — Tue, 23 Dec 2008 11:00:48 -0600

We can definitely feel the year winding down here at The Worx Company. Holidays always seem to be slow, everyone busy with their own personal lives. With Thanksgiving in November and Christmas and New Years this month, things have been more relaxed around the office. This has been a great time to catch up on things. Here are some things that has been going around here:

CCK Export for node modules

Kris Vanderwater — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 18:45:03 -0600

So I spent yesterday learning some new things about Drupal. As always there's too much for any one person, so I'm going to share what I learned in the hopes that it will help other out, and maybe let us refine a process toward getting these sorts of modules fast-tracked toward being the "Drupal-Way".

In this blog I'm going to cover a number of different concepts including the ability to package your own pre-built designs via views, packaging content types via cck, and just some all around niceties that Drupal 6 makes so easy.

Drupal on the Front of InformationWeek Magazine

Ju young Vanderwater — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 14:56:38 -0600

Like any businesses, we receive numerous magazines from all sorts of places. We have a little table full of magazines that don't get much attention. (Frankly, most of them are too techy for me to read during my spare time...) Yesterday, Kris was walking by this table and saw something that made him whip his head around and look twice. "I swear I saw Druplicon..." he murmured.

Drupal Classes at a Crossroad

Ju young Vanderwater — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 15:29:48 -0600

As some of you might already know we have been holding classes in our office to teach our new guys the ins and outs of Drupal. After a short time we had reached a crossroad of sorts though - and a decision needed to be made.
